I broke a tooth last night and am trying to decide what to do about it. Options:
1. Go to my regular dentist, which would require an uber ride + an elevator up 11 floors. I'm pretty sure they're taking good precautions though.
2. Find a different dentist walking distance to me.
3. Don't go because it's too dangerous and a broken tooth isn't going to kill me, probably.

If I call my dentist and ask what to do I'm sure they will tell me to come in, since they were telling me to come in for cleanings. I'm sure they need the business. I'm in a city where case numbers are medium high - not the absolute worst but not good. I have multiple health conditions that put me at medium-high coronavirus risk, and so does one of my family members.

I've been doing lots of research on risks at dentists and get the answer that it is...medium.

I hate all this 'be your own epidemiologist and take personal responsibility for your life and that of your family' stuff.

Yes, it's very hard, and scary, and not what a person should have to do. Sending best wishes.
